Jesús Ramírez Bermúdez inherited the narrative talent of his father, the writer José Agustín, and learned the skill of observing his environment of Gabriel García Márquez, but he did not want to study literature, he was inclined towards medicine and then neuropsychiatry; however, now he develops a peculiar type of literature that is based on his scientific experience. Jesús Ramírez Bermúdez, who is currently head of the Neuropsychiatry Unit of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery (INNN), has 73 scientific articles and three literary texts. In both areas it is brilliant, in 2006 it received the prize for scientific research granted by the International Neuropsychiatric Association and in 2009 it won the Prize of the National Institute of Fine Arts José Revueltas, for the essay The Last Witness of Creation. Perhaps their success in both areas is due to the fact that in the two activities they carry out, although they are completely different, they develop skills that complement each other. As he grew older, his dad presented more realistic stories, this taught him to see the world from literature. Currently "I see the world as a set of interconnected stories, like a fabric of stories". Thus, the little Jesus Ramírez Bermúdez lived his childhood surrounded by literature. On Sundays, various writers such as Juan José Arreola or Gabriel García Márquez visited his father, so he lived with them and from a very young age he began to write his first texts. "Since I was a child I wrote comics with my brother Agustín. At the age of 12 I made my first novel, which by the way I rewrote as three times and fortunately I did not publish it because now I would be very sorry to show it, it was a very bad novel ". However, at the same time that he wrote his first novel, he also discovered in the school the biological sciences that captivated him from the first contact he had with them. Although his destiny seemed to be literature, Jesús Ramírez Bermúdez decided that he would study medicine at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), which initially seemed very interesting to his father as he imagined that his son would be a psychoanalyst like Sigmund Freud or Carl Gustav Jung. The more he entered his career, the more he liked research, so he decided to pursue a master's degree in psychiatry and later a post-doctorate in neuropsychiatry, both postgraduate studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). To my father's disappointment, I became more and more scientific, I fell in love with research (...) I found in psychiatric medicine a bridge, a way to connect science with literature ". Science and literature are complementary Although science and literature are different disciplines, the member scientist level II of the National System of Researchers (SNI) of the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt), considered that they complement each other because the skills that are developed for one activity can be used in the other. For example, to make a novel you need a lot of imagination, it forces you to be immersed in a fictional world that, although it does not exist, for the novelist is as if it were completely real. In science it also takes a good dose of imagination to propose a hypothesis; However, after that, we have to contrast it with the facts and there the imagination has little to say. "Literary texts are made by stories and I believe that science is also made up of stories, just that they are another type of characters, for example, the protagonists can be an antibody that attacks cells or other things." They are complementary because they "favor the development of different emotional skills and other personality structures. While literature encourages creativity, imagination and the playful aspect, science trains the discipline because in science one does not do what one "likes," unlike literature. " Also, in science you have to work as a team, now the great research is very collaborative, however the literature is very individualistic. For this reason, for several years, the prestigious scientist, in addition to his scientific collaborations, has written various literary materials such as Paramnesia, The Last Witness of Creation - which was translated into English and edited by Small Beer Press, as well as being awarded with the Literary Essay Prize for Literature José Revueltas-, Brief clinical dictionary of the soul and A Dictionary without words and three clinical histories. For the next few years he prepares a literary text in which he promises to narrate some of the neurological events he has suffered while doing another of his passions, extreme sports such as diving and mountaineering; In addition to continuing with his scientific research focused on neurodegenerative diseases.
